CL&Ur UP AH) KEEP CLEANED UP

rbere In this issue of the TIMES will be found tbe proclamation of Mayor Pitch, of Sea Me City, setting apart next week elean-up week. This baa become en annual custom In all comatunlUaa, but there la one feature in Mayor Pitch's proclamation to which attention should be directed end that la "to stay cleaned up.” There is no real reason why town or city should not always be cleaned up If people would only make up their minds that should be the condition, et aa easy to have aabee removed each week aa It la to have whole winter's accumulation plied in the backyard. And fire la a wonderful clean-up agency when properly applied. There is a vast amount of rubblah and waste paper that can be readily disposed of In the heater or kitchen range If burned In small quantities Instead of being allowed to accumulate. Waste paper particularly should not be thrown around loose or allowed to cumulate. There la nothing that helps to disfigure a place more than waste paper. Thrown Into the street or yard It la soon carried by the winds Into someone' yard who endeavors to keep their orderly, thus making extra work for such a person. Don't throw waste' paper around. But since clean-up week fweary, let every one heartily enter Into the spirit of the Meyer's proclamation and make Sea Isle aty shine, not only for the pleasure of our summer visitors, but for our own health and pleasure. end when It is cleaned up. one determine that it shall stay cleaned up. and work to that end. It can be done.

THE ELECTEIC LIGHT grrUATTON

Both Ocean City end Wildwood have entered vigorous protests against the failure of the electric light company to supply eufrent for two hours or more night of April 26, entailing severe I owes on business and amusement places. These protests are fully Justified. It Is unthinkable that two such piacee should be without light for two hours on a night when business men look forward

to a Urge trade.

Bee Me City and otker towi supplied by the seme company were also in darkness, but have

entered no protest.

The excuse made by s reprints live of tbe company that the lack of cur.—it was due to two feed wires being struck by a bolt lightning does not meet the situation. A company supplying so wtdb a territcry and with sucb a number or important communities should have an equipment alproof against ordinary elements. so that when s break occurs a new circuit can be thrown into use In a few minutes. Any equipment lees than tbU U not adequate for the territory which

this company serves.

Tha failure rl the current on April 26 U by no means tbe first Inconvenience the people supplied by the AUantic City company ffered. Lest winter (here w're several such instance*, but not for such long periods, so the people are perfectly Justified, not only In demanding a redress, tut in demanding tnst they be given protection for the bury seenow at lund.

idge’s well-known opinions on ropean questions, such acceptation la not wide of the mark. It is that Europe has had the situation unmistakably presented to her. as she can now put her house in order, or else continue on her present course by fighting her battles alone. Ambassador Houghton voiced the sentiment of 95 per cent, of the people of this country, who are not only tired ot Europe's continual wrangles and failure settle down on s basis of mutual good will, but are disgusted and disposed to turn their backs oi appeals for assistance. The effect of Mr. Houghton’s speech will be watched with in

Ocean City Will Hot Leave Ocean City does not want to leave Cape May County. When the roll and reverbration of the recent storm died away, it was found not to be a thunderstorm. but merely an empty wagon, clattering across

bridge.

Interviews wllh prominent Ocean City residents by representatives of the Star and Wave and News have disclosed the fact that the overwhelming sentiment of the city is opposed to the proposition to leave Cape May County for Atlantic County. Assemblyman Charles Reid stated that he was unalterably opposed to the change. The assemblyman takes the position that It would not give Ocean aty the slightest advantage, and it such a step were taken, it would mean the sacrifice of principles of civic government for which Ocean aty has long stood. Joseph Champion. Mayor of Ocean aty, and member of tbe present Board of Freeholders, is also completely out of sympathy with tbe proposal Civic organisations are lined up against It. It Is fell that if sentiment In the northern resort could be thoroughly sifted. It would disclose a VolsteaC vote of about 1-2 of 1 per cent for tbe Sutton

scheme.

With so many thlngr. to smile about; it's downrlant sin to frown; here comes the keenest Joy of all— it's clean-up week In town. Get out yer pall and scrub-bln-bruah and tighten up yer cinch—Our battle with the other trash Is cornin' to a cinch. It might be well to ping yer nose In scientific terms—It takes discretion when you tackle wooly-whlspered germs! There’s mebbe several pop-corn bags and old tomstter cans reposin' front of your abode— which dvfc virtue bans. Might even stir a polecat or a .eeklln' funny-side, which shows how any smelly thing can damage civic pride. Don't take no bombs or hand grenaders to slam the garbage dump—put on yer army gasmask and deport It In a lump. If you enjoy a payin' Job. relinquish It today, and Jine tbe city's clean-up squad—you'll find It better pay! Stab any feller In his tracks that registers a frown—pull off yer coat an' swet by Jacks—it's cleanup week in town!

Assemblyman Read Against Annexation Editor Cape May County Times: I understand the suggestion to annex Ocean City to AUantic County Is causing s lot of agitation In Cape May County. I wish to say that I am not In favor of such a plan for many reasonr.. Tbe first Is. Ocean aty belong* to Cape Mr.y County. Its Interests ore here. It has grown to wbat It Is because of tbe principles on which tbe city was founded and Cape May County stands for the name things and has help.d us to maintain them. If it went over Atlantic County, AUantic City would dominate it and It would lose its Identity. Our tax rate Is next to the lowest of any resort In the entire county. Should we go over there we do not know what it would be. Someor * has said the roads leading to Ocean City are In AtlanUc County. Thai Is true In s measure. But. these same roads lead to Ocean aty also. They lead to Longport and Margate and the south end of Atlantic aty. So Atlantic County Is a* much Interested In these roads for their own benefit as we are for ours. In fact, both tbe Senator and two Assemblymen are on record as favoring tbs State Highway Commission taking over tbe Maya Landlng-Snmers Point and Ocean aty road because It eervee the south end of Atlantic City ar well as Ocean aty. Then, again. It Is out of the queetlop because neither Ocean aty nor any part of Cape May County would vote for It as I find very little sentiment anywhere in the county for It. You may aay that I am againat any such move and believe a very great majority of tbe people here are also againat It. Youra truly, CHARLES C. READ.

Ses Isle City, like many others, could stand quite a few Improvements In tbe line of beautifying. It cannot be done all at once or by only the school children, but they can help by keeping their property neat and clean and setting an example for others. For any town or dty to become Prosperous, it is necessary to advertise It and one of the beet ways to to have attractive houses and yards so that people passing through will be favorably ImpressEach year towards spring there Is a clean-up week for everyone and though It does much good all during the week and a short time afterwards, people soon forget about It If I were asked my opinion on the subject I would say that I think if they had one more often than once a year the people would be lew apt to forget and

neglect their property.

Any city with a good sea coast such as ours has la very lucky, but some people do not take advantage of this good fortune, and instead of trying to make the piers attractive and keep the boardwalk clean they think that as long ns they have the ocean they don't have to worry abou' anything else. This Is partly right, as the ocean to a great convenience, yet If they would spend more time making the surroundings cleaner It would be much prettier and they would be doing their part In help'tig beauti-

fy the city.

It would also be a noticeable Improvement If the beach was

kept cleaner.

Every cltiten of the twn or city In which he lives can help by keeping his hause neat, covering or tearing down ugly fence*, planting flowers, mowing towns and encouraging others In following his example.
